Melbourne Showgrounds Stations will not be operational during Minishow 2008. Newmarket Station on the Craigieburn/Upfield line will allow for boarding of the Number 57 tram service, which will travel along Epsom Road.

Boat Access
Boat access via the Maribyrnong River complements other forms of transport, but seriously, the water will be cold in July, so probably best not to come to Minishow 2008 via Boat.
